Hi there,
can anyone recommend an activity tracker? I have read that Fitbit is really good, but apparently the bracelet breaks quite easily. Any suggestions? Thank you :-)

    I have the fitbit and LOVE it. My bracelet didn't break however I went on Amazon and bought a 3 pack of different colors so I use several different colors. They are cheap enough.

    I have the fitbit one. I wear it on my waistband. It syncs with an iphone app via blue tooth and I love it.

    I love the Fitbit, however I use the Fitbit One which clips on your clothing somewhere. I've had it for a few years now with no problems! I LOVE this thing. :-D

    get a Vo2 max test done and just track your heart rate for a set time.

    I have the Fitbit One and the Fitbit Charge. The One has worked well for me since April when I bought it. I bought the Charge last week mostly because I like new gadgets, but I'm thinking about returning it. I like always having the Charge with me and not have to worry about switching it to a different set of pants or strap it on at night to track sleep. I also like the idea of automatic sleep tracking. However, I'm finding the sleep tracking a little iffy with the Charge. It sometimes wants to cheat me out of several hours sleep. I was having trouble synching the Charge today, but whatever the problem was it seems to have fixed itself. And the battery life seems to be less than half what I was getting with the One. And I quit wearing a watch since I started wearing the Charge, but I don't like having to press a button to see the time.

    I think I talked myself into keeping the One and returning the Charge.

    I bought the flex and after a couple of months, it fell off and I could not find it. There is no way to track the location. I got a replacement from the Fitbit team (awesome customer service) and it fell off again...I think the band clasp is not secure. I have not bought another one

    Garmin 15 user here--For 50 dollars more than the fitbit one , you get an accurate HRM and activity tracker in one
